Crayfish Beach, Hook Island

My Favourites

Camp beside Hook Island's fringing reef, with time for snorkelling, paddling and beach exploration.

By Is Great EditorialUpdated 11 September 20265 min read

Crayfish Beach is a boat-only camping area at Mackerel Bay South on Hook Island, set between a rocky headland, mountains and a sandy shore.

The fringing reef flat is close offshore for snorkelling and drift dives, while the surrounding bays suit a kayak or canoe. Slow down at camp or explore the beach, rocks and bush beside Crayfish Bay.
